Program Details
As a professional padel coach in Marbella, I spend many hours every day on court teaching and playing. Because of this, sports recovery, mobility and body maintenance are very important parts of my routine.
I am looking for a volunteer with experience or interest in massage therapy, physiotherapy, sports recovery, stretching, mobility training or wellness practices. The main contribution will be helping with muscle recovery through massage sessions, stretching routines and mobility work.
In exchange, you will stay in a beautiful area of Marbella, close to beaches, restaurant s and outdoor activities. This is a great opportunity for physiotherapy students, massage therapists, personal trainers, yoga teachers or anyone passionate about health and wellness.
The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly and flexible. I enjoy meeting people from different cultures and sharing local life in southern Spain. There will also be opportunities to play padel, improve your Spanish and enjoy everything Marbella has to offer.
Activities & Shift
The volunteer’s main role will be helping with sports recovery and wellness support. This may include massage sessions, stretching routines, mobility exercises and general recovery assistance after long days of coaching padel and tennis.
In addition, I appreciate help with some everyday household tasks such as keeping shared spaces clean and organized, preparing simple healthy meals, helping with groceries and contributing to a positive and comfortable living environment.
The schedule is flexible and varies depending on the week. Most tasks are light and straightforward, and there is plenty of free time to enjoy Marbella, the beaches, local culture and outdoor activities.
Ideal volunteers are proactive, responsible, easy-going and interested in health, wellness, sports, fitness or healthy living. Experience in massage therapy, physiotherapy, personal training, yoga or similar areas is highly appreciated but not always required.
Rules
I value a relaxed, respectful and positive atmosphere at home. Communication is very important, so please let me know in advance if you have any questions, concerns or changes to your schedule.
Volunteers are expected to be responsible, punctual and proactive with their tasks. Please help keep shared spaces clean and organized and treat the home as if it were your own.
Healthy habits and mutual respect are highly appreciated. Smoking is only allowed outside the house. Quiet hours should be respected during the night.
This is a cultural exchange, so I hope we can both enjoy sharing experiences, learning from each other and creating a friendly environment.
Most importantly, come with a positive attitude, an open mind and a willingness to contribute to the household and the wellness program.
